Reverting to corpses recovery in every mission would require reverting to "kill them all" for every missions which is definitely not something i want. I guess I'd have to respectfully disagree with you here. Part of my suggestion included a rebalance/tuning/etc of pricing, costs, requirem...

You want GTS first, then AWC second. Third will be power unless you get lucky and get PoI's that assign power to the Avenger. In my campaign I did and so I have the PG now too. Have a shielded coil ready for the Laboratory next . I'm at work and can't check the game (kind of a noob anyway) - but do...

This does not make mention which difficulty you feel these problems are present on, though, which is the crux of my comment. Unfortunately, this is independent of difficulty. Sure, on Veteran (or even Commander which is the difficulty i play) you can choose "sub-optimal" strategies and st...

I still personally think corpses should just be rewarded for every mission no matter what, thematic/realism issues be damned. I enjoy the thematic reasoning for corpses being needed for tech advancement in various ways, but I have yet to see anyone reconcile this completely with the fact that 75% or...

I actually wouldn't mind DEs, if I have a chance to counter them, or reverse them. I am already rushing to resistance comms, because I figure, the more regions I have, the higher the detection/counter chance. Maybe the DEs could only start maximum of x regions away from your starting haven for the ...

I've only done Shen's in LW2, because that's all that will spawn for me (6 times), but the mecs seem to have normal chances to receive the tactical +1hp upgrades (which seems to be something in the 70-90% chance range for each one). I've done the mission twice this campaign, once when +1 was active,...

+1 Second post on the forums, provides detailed and helpful explanations, without condescension or making somebody feel dumb for asking the question. You have my approval, sir! Well, not being snarky or anything, but that's actually the literal definition of diminishing returns. It just depends on ...

It technically is not diminishing returns, it is just the way the game communicates the "speed-up". If a certain project requires 16 "man-days" to complete, and the default (zero-engineers, just Lily) is to produce 2 man-days* of work per day, then placing one engineer on the pr...

I noticed some engineers provide bigger time reduction bonii for construction, room cleaning tasks. 1. Is there a way to see an engineer rank and or efficiency bonus? 2. Do they also provide varying bonii to staffing workshops, comms or power relay? Every engineer is the same. You're probably seein...

I think enemy variety and the various timings of when they show up might need some looking at. I'm not sure what LW2's underlying mechanics of its decisions for what to throw at you when, but here are my experiences from 1.5 Veteran campaigns: Overall note of mission types completed - Two full liber...

I was under the impression Liberation removed all missions from the region. Perhaps there's an issue that's not letting it remove missions in progress? Which caused this strange behavior from the civs. Probably best to throw this in the bug forum as a possible bug? If you are already infiltrating o...

What if PSI was treated like an AWC perk rather than a separate class? You would train your shinobi rather than a rookie. There could be some eligibility requirement like high will our something else. This is how LW1 (from EW expansion PSI additions) worked. It wasn't a bad system, but with PSI alr...

From my own experience across 1.5 campaigns, panic from wound/shot has only happened in the VERY early game, like rookie-squaddie. I don't think I've ever had a LCPL+ soldier panic from a wound. Or perhaps I don't get wounded enough to notice, that's possible. Personally I don't think panic itself n...

Nothing at all, but there's definitely a niche that was filled in the later iterations of LW1 with the advent(lol) of the Motion Tracker. I do find myself missing this lovely item at times in LW2.

To be clear, if you end a mission with a soldier bleeding out somewhere, he will 100% die. Soldiers are only captured if they're alive and healthy and the mission ends, but they don't manage to evac. So if he/she is up on your memorial wall, he/she is dead. If you do ever manage to leave someone hea...

Maybe a little off topic but, anyone more thinks stocks need a revision? The only use for it is for a dfa sharpshooter, even with the 4 slots continent bonus every other class have better mods, and every mods fills well more than a unique class use. See it: -auto loaders and magazines, everyone wan...

Yeah I can confirm that you will indeed continue to get more ROV-R PoI's regardless of what you do with existing Lost Tower missions. My current campaign has 2 Lost Towers on the map, one ROV-R signal I haven't bothered scanning, and this is after completing two entire LT missions and getting 2 free...

I think most of this is a solid idea, and would go a good ways toward making LW2 into an actual Long War, as currently it's blitz-able such that you can end the game before you even have a chance to get certain techs (via required corpse drops etc), as well as it would help reinforce the infiltratio...

Er, well, the breakpoints past 100 are 125, 150, and 200. Anything in between does you zero good. I can certainly see why someone might want to be notified when a mission hits those breakpoints. That said, having it be an option would obviously be ideal, whether it's a global toggle or a per-active-...

I still haven't seen Alien Hunters, but on the up side, I just got my 5th ROV-R signal PoI /sarcasm

It's getting really old having these stupid Shen missions eat up all my PoI rewards.

Personally I like the idea of a per-soldier ammo slot (with no weight), with ammo production costs adjusted if necessary. That way resources are the limiter, and your soldiers can carry whatever ammo type you want them to carry for that mission so they can specialize. I can't see any mechanical or t...

*weapon mod upgrade projects are just terrible: suppressors are minorly useful but you need the project most for items that you do not acquire enough of... Which means you can't run the project. What I would instead suggest is that there is a project which is repeatable (if possible) which takes in...

I really hope squad size reduction isn't truly on the table. A major part of my enjoyment from LW mods is the squad size increases allowing for large fights.

On the subject of Technicals, is it intended that a Tech can't use a Shredder Cannon on his/her exo suit, and has to pick a rocket or flame tanks? I found this weird when I got my first exo suit, was hoping to add more utility to my Tech rather than just another charge of an existing ability.
